While we are aware of the impact that the pandemic has had on the fitness industry, we have taken steps to bring the fitness industry together and extend our support to the supplier network including smaller gyms & fitness centres. Additionally, we have also adapted our business models keeping in mind the dynamic user requirements and developed special offerings. The aim is to continue providing users flexibility and avenues to carry out their fitness journey and reduce obstacles. We have also taken steps to engage the corporate workforce and help the organizations find and access fitness classes from their homes”

Adding further to this, Jayam Vora, Co-Founder & COO, Fitternity says, “We are aware of the impact that the Coronavirus pandemic has brought. It has not only led various industries to a stand-still, but has also impacted the fitness segment massively. In order to stand tall and strong with our strong supplier/vendor network, we have devised an offering- Fitternity Gift Cards & Vouchers, that will help them get aid for the losses that they are currently facing. We are also observing a significant impact on the consumer’s approach towards fitness. While the pandemic is a global crisis, it has also made the consumers understand the importance of having a healthy lifestyle and hence a good immunity. Owing to this insight, we have curated new offerings that not only make it convenient for the users to avail fitness at home but also do this with the correct guidance by experts. It’s our prerogative to encourage India to #FightToBeFit! All in the safety of their homes.”
